Happy New Year from my thawed-out heart

Since my mother passed away two and a half years ago, and I moved far from the ceramic studio where I socialized every single day, I have pretty much kept to myself and have allowed very few positive emotions to surface. I feel now that a combination of several events over the course of the last two months have caused what I am describing to myself, and now to you, as a thawing-out of my heart. I believe it was a combination of finding the church of St. Gregory of Nyssa, attending my first Kirtan, and running into someone whom I used to care about a lot over twenty years ago, that caused my heart chakra to open.

So what does this mean? It means that I now want to re-connect with friends and spend time with them, and devote more time to volunteering, and to working on myself through reading, and (if I can possibly stick with it) meditating. It also means that I will not have much free time left, so I am taking a hiatus from this blog, for an indefinite period of time (which, knowing me, may mean a couple of weeks!).

I will continue to read your blogs and comment, when I have something I just have to say. I’ve loved and appreciated your comments and kind words, and I do hope to be back, maybe with new material....

Until then, “Love, Peace and all Blessings in the New Year”.

Hugs,

Anna Maria
